【R&D-004】Intern Research Scientist (Robotics)

The AI Robot Association (AIRoA) is launching a groundbreaking initiative to collect one million hours of humanoid robot operation data and leverage it to train the world’s most powerful Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. This role will be responsible for designing and building scalable data collection systems, developing semi-autonomous teleoperation systems, and creating automated pipelines to deploy trained models and rigorously evaluate them in both simulation and real-world robotic platforms.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing (or recently completed) a Master’s or PhD in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of robotics concepts and a strong motivation to conduct publishable research.
• Hands-on experience with physical robots (e.g., manipulators, mobile robots, or robotic platforms used in research labs).
• Proficiency in at least one programming language commonly used in robotics (e.g., Python, C++, ROS 1/2).
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a research team.

Benefits

• Work on fundamental challenges in robotics and AI
• Access state-of-the-art infrastructure
• Collaborate with leading experts across academia and industry
• Publish results that will shape the next decade of robotics
• Contribute to an initiative that will redefine the future of embodied AI
